Controlled transport by molecular machines: exploring biological motors and their physics
Small Biosystems Lab, Facultat de Fisica, Universitat of Barcelona
Molecular motors are fascinating biological machines that play a crucial role in a variety of cellular processes, including mass transport, muscle contraction, DNA replication, transcription and repair, and RNA translation. These structures convert chemical energy from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis into mechanical work.
